Seeing Zhao Zhen finally nodding, Zhao Yunrang's face, which was full of deathly aura, suddenly glowed with brilliance.
At this moment, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, his image coincided with that of the old lady. The official himself transformed into Emperor Taizu, and was forced to agree to his dying mother's last wish in front of her dying mother's bed.
"I wonder which of my sons can win the favor of the officials?" Zhao Yunrang struck while the iron was hot and never gave Zhao Zhen a chance to regret it.
"This..." Zhao Zhen said somewhat dullly: "They are all good, they are all very good..."
"What do you think, Queen?" Zhao Yunrang looked at Queen Cao.
"Then let's be thirteen," Gao Taotao and her mother, Cao Shi, had already poured milk soup on Queen Cao. What's more, for Queen Cao, Zhao Zongshi was the one she had watched since she was a child, and he was also her nephew.
A son-in-law is more reliable than anyone else: "This child has a good nature and has a close relationship with us..."
"Thirteen..." Zhao Yunrang's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He trembled: "Come and pay homage to your father and mother..."
The brothers looked at Zhao Zongshi with envy and jealousy. Although they had known that he was different from them, after today's bow, the relationship between emperor and minister will be as different as the world. However, when a brother becomes the emperor, they can also behave like a prince.
, it’s better than being fooled by others, right?
However, Zhao Zongshi's reaction was beyond people's expectations. He was not as ecstatic as everyone imagined, and his haggard face lacked even the slightest expression - his eyes were dull, his expression was stiff, and he was looking at himself blankly.
The present father and the future father. If you want to ask what is the difference between him and a piece of wood, it is that there are still two tears in his eye sockets.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Zhao Zongshi's mood... His current father gave him his life to give him a father. This is the long-cherished wish of two generations, and he cannot tolerate not agreeing. If you don't agree, you will observe filial piety for three years. Look at Zhao Zongji and the others.
Go ahead and invite your favors for your meritorious service. Even the day lily will be cold by the time you come back from the service.
But my father is dying. If he agrees to abandon his old father and replace him with a new father without any obstacles, what difference will he make to an animal? He doesn't mind turning into an animal, but what will the world say?
Yes. Zhao Zongshi has already set himself according to the standards of the future emperor...
Seeing that he was dead there, Zhao Yunrang said anxiously: "Thirteen, come quickly and salute your father!"
"I..." Zhao Zongshi shook his head with difficulty. He burst into tears and said vaguely: "How could I? How could I?"
"This child is extremely filial, so let's forget it." Zhao Zhen wasn't interested in this at all, so who thought he was forcing him to do it?
"No!" Zhao Yunrang sat up in such a hurry, slapped the edge of the bed and roared: "Bad beast, are you going to make me mad to death! Come here quickly!"
Zhao Zongyi, who was next to Zhao Zongshi, also stretched out his hand to push him: "Thirteen, don't be an unfilial person." Brother, stop acting, be careful not to mess up the performance. There is no place to cry!
Zhao Zongshi crawled to his father's bed and kowtowed three times to Zhao Yunrang, crying until his nose dripped with mucus. Then he turned around, kowtowed three times to Zhao Zhen and said, "My child, meet my father..."
"Alas..." Zhao Zhen had a strange expression. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but couldn't. He said, "Good boy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhao Yunrang was worthy of being the great-grandson of Empress Dowager Du. He had to be sure of everything and hammer it hard twice. He immediately asked people from Zongzheng Temple to come in... When he learned that the officials were coming to the Runan County Prince's Mansion, all the close relatives of the royal family rushed over.
It was a final farewell to the venerable old prince. Naturally, several leaders of Zongzheng Temple were among them.
Soon, the prince of Beihai County, Zhao Yunbi and Xu Guogong, who knew Zongzheng Temple, and Zhao Chengjian, who also knew Zongzheng Temple, came in.
At this time, Zhao Yunrang was speechless, so Zhao Zongyi said on behalf of his father: "If the official family wants to adopt an heir, please ask your two uncles to write a document." This is also reasonable and reasonable, because according to the clan law, those who adopt an heir must have an heir.
The fathers of both parties signed and deposited their signatures at the ancestral hall. Zhao Yunrang was naturally unable to go to the ancestral hall in his current situation. The same thing would be true if he invited people from Zongzheng Temple.
Zhao Yunbi had already heard what his son said, so he was not panicked. On the contrary, Zhao Chengjian, who had nothing to do with the matter, was so shocked that he said from ear to ear: "Really?"
Zhao Zhen was in a terrible mood at the moment... In his eyes, Zhao Chengjian played the role of Zhao Pu. All the characters were present, and even his wife made a friendly guest appearance, with the purpose of forcing him to submit.
However, Zhao Yunrang had already figured out his character. Under the diligent education of the scholar-bureaucrats, Zhao Zhen developed a gentle, courteous and thrifty character. To put it bluntly, he would rather wrong himself than look bad to others in person, especially to a dying person.
people.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen deeply felt the helplessness of Emperor Taizu. Who said that the emperor could do whatever he wanted? There were also times when he was led by others and had no choice!
Zhao Zhen did not deny it, and the two of them hurriedly wrote the adoption documents... This was the daily business of Zongzheng Temple. Naturally, they wrote it immediately, then put it in a tray, and gave it to Zhao Yun to sign and deposit it first.
Zhao Zongyi and Zhao Zonghui helped Naifu stand up and held his hand again, wanting to help their father sign. Unexpectedly, with his own strength, he wrote the three words "Zhao Yunrang" one stroke at a time, neatly and neatly.
The pen is not messy.
After Zhao Yunrang finished writing, he looked at Zhao Yunbi meaningfully, trying to read something on his face.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunbi had a calm look on his face. He looked at Zhao Chengjian picking up the tray and turned around, and suddenly whispered: "How about the day?"
"Uh..." Zhao Chengjian was stunned for a moment, wondering who in this hurry would turn to the almanac. He shook his head and whispered: "No."
"Ordinary people have to look through the almanac to adopt a child." Zhao Yunbi said seriously: "The population of the Tian family is related to the country, how can we be careless?"
"Yes." Zhao Chengjian nodded and asked, "Do you have an almanac issued by Qin Tian Jian in your house?"
Zhao Yun asked the father and son to sneer secretly. They had planned carefully and naturally considered all aspects. After a while, the almanac was delivered, and the people from Zongzheng Temple checked it. Although today was not a good day, it was 'appropriate to enter the population'... The entrance population is one of the adopted children.
meaning.
Seeing the officials putting down the ink on the documents, Zhao Yunbi secretly sighed in his heart, son, compared to Zhao Zongshi's father, he is really incompetent as a father...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After being tortured for a long time, Zhao Zhen's enthusiasm waned, so he drove back to the palace.
Although he had passed away, Zhao Zongshi asked to stay in the mansion to see his old father off. Zhao Zhen had no intention of taking him back, so he drove back to the palace with the queen.
It was late at night when we returned to the palace. The queen went to Kunning Hall and Zhao Zhen returned to Funing Hall. The two did not live together.
After changing clothes and washing up, Zhao Zhen lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. He was very clear about the significance of adopting Zhao Zongshi today. Tomorrow, the Hanlin bachelor prepared an edict to the world. The government and the public knew that the Song Dynasty finally had a prince. After that
If people's hearts turn against them, they will be like a river flowing eastward. No one can change it.
To be fair, Zhao Zhen had no ill feelings towards Zhao Zongshi. The emperor was good at understanding others and knew that Zhao Zongshi's identity was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, which prevented him from doing things freely and even had to bear a lot of infamy for others. So Zhao Zhen was useless, right?
I have done something to serve as a standard, and I have reviewed this guy.
As for his character and knowledge, Zhao Zongshi looks very good. At least Zhao Zhen has nothing to be dissatisfied with. But is it really necessary to decide the successor of the Song Dynasty so hastily? Zhao Zhen really can't rest assured.
From a big perspective, as the person who knows this country best, he knows very well what kind of complex and profound crises the Song Dynasty is facing. The so-called prosperous age is just a fig leaf. When it cannot be covered up, internal and external troubles will break out.
The day when the country will be subjugated and the species will be destroyed! And that day is really not far away...
Speaking on a small scale, I am only fifty years old, how can I have a life span of more than ten or twenty years? Is it possible to establish the prince so early? I am getting older day by day, but the prince is getting stronger day by day, I am afraid that I will not be able to use it.
In a few years, days like the 'Tian Sheng' and 'Ming Dao' will probably come again.
Is his career as emperor destined to begin and end as a puppet?
Zhao Zhen couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went to the ground.
Hu Yandui saw that the official was tossing and turning like pancakes tonight, and he was afraid that something might happen, so he did not leave as usual, but took a nap outside the curtain. Hearing the noise, he quickly came in and said, "What are you going to do, sir?"
"If you can't sleep, go for a walk." Zhao Zhen said, "Don't stop me."
"It's more exposed outside, be careful of getting cold." Hu Yandui said worriedly.
"Find out the mink fur cloak that Zong Ji brought back to me from the Liao Kingdom." Zhao Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Isn't that enough?"
Seeing that the emperor wanted to go out, Hu Yandui couldn't bear to stop him anymore, so he hurriedly went to the imperial bedside and opened the casual clothes closet. He saw pieces of old and stale clothes inside, which even ordinary rich people couldn't compare with. If he didn't say it, who would
Do you know this is the wardrobe of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?
Thinking about the past decades, the official family has only eight sets of regular clothes in four seasons, and there is no extra change of dry, cleaning and wet clothes. They always think about the difficulties of the country and the difficulties of the people's livelihood. Such a good emperor, but God will not even give him an heir. It is nonsense.
The stool and nose are sour and the eye circles are red.
Wiping his eyes with his sleeves, Manager Hu turned around holding the big cloak and walked lightly behind Zhao Zhen: "Sir, please extend your hand."
Zhao Zhen, who was a little dazed, stretched out his hands back as he was told. Hu Yandui lifted the shoulders of the cloak and asked Zhao Zhen to put his hands into the sleeves, and then went around to the front to tie the buttons for him. Then he said: "
The old slave will go and pass it on to the retinue."
"No followers," Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Just the two of us, let's just walk around in the yard."
"This..." Hu Yandui said, "The safety of high officials is important."
"Do you think it's still the same as before?" Zhao Zhen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Now that Di Hanchen has managed the palace so impregnably, there is nothing to worry about."
So he didn't sit in a sedan or take his entourage with him. Hu Yandui held a lantern and led the way. Zhao Zhen wore a black leather robe and a large cloak and covered his head with his hat. The master and servant left the Funing Hall.
